CINCINNATI — Gilberto Manzano of Sports Illustrated named one free agent that the NFL should sign this week, and cornerback Stephon Gilmore fits the bill for the Bengals.
Gilmore had 54 tackles, two interceptions, and 13 pass breakups (t-16th in the NFL) for the Cowboys last season.
“The Dallas Cowboys likely will let Gilmore walk because they have cap space issues and already have standout cornerbacks Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland,” Manzano said in a statement. “The Bengals should jump at the opportunity to add Gilmore, who proved last season he still has plenty to offer on the field, starting every game and recording two interceptions in 2023.”
The Dallas money difficulties may benefit Cincinnati in this situation, as Gilmore’s seasoned presence might strengthen the backend while Chidobe Awuzie’s future with the Bengals remains uncertain.
